First Official paddle of the year and Steve came up with a good one to start the year.
On this stretch of river you will need a skirt for your kayak or you will get wet. This stretch is 4.5 miles long. Most of the time this section can be done in two hours or under.
This section offer what I call the adventure section of the Mahoning river. Here is the order of rapids in this section
1-Marshall St Bridge- Class I+ or Class II
2-Wave Train by Cement plant-Class I
3-Rebar Rapid-Class II (must follow correct path to navigate this rapid)
We will tell you correct path and go first as well.
4-Wave Train after Rebar Rapid-Class I
So far the weather will be near or above 50, should be a nice quick paddle
